Reproductive Effort of Big Bluestem, Indiangrass and Little Bluestem on Selected Konza Prairie LTER Watersheds

General Information
Data Package:
Local Identifier:knb-lter-knz.95.5
Title:Reproductive Effort of Big Bluestem, Indiangrass and Little Bluestem on Selected Konza Prairie LTER Watersheds
Alternate Identifier:PRE02
Abstract:

This data set focuses on seed production, flowering stem mass, height, and population densities of three dominant prairie grasses: Andropogon gerardii (ANGE), Sorgastrum nutans (SONU), and Schizachyrium scoparium (ANSC) in selected Konza Prairie LTER watersheds. Data set includes measurements of flowering stem height (m), density (no. per sq. m) and production (grams per sq. m) and total seed weight (grams) and production (grams per sq. on 2 soil types (shallow and deep) in watersheds representing different burning-grazing treatment combinations. Specific watersheds sampled have varied over time. Current watersheds include: 001d, R01a, R01b, 002c, 002d, 004a, 004b, 020b, R20a, R20b, 0SpA, 0SpB, 0SuA, 0SuB, 00FA, 00FB, 00WA and 00WB Sampling is done once a year in October/November (end of growing season). (Sampling design slightly altered from PRE01.) Dataset packageID originally 65.x, changed 1/15/13.
